The 7 hairstyle trends for this Christmas

Christmas is almost here and you have to decide: short hair, long hair, updo, mid-length hair...? At KV-1 we have the trends for the season.


Christmas is coming and all the hairdressers and clients are going crazy looking for the latest trends to decide which is the best possible hairstyle for all those meetings that are coming up: company dinners, Christmas, New Year's Eve...
It's hard to decide, because fashion is fickle and changes all the time, but at KV-1 we've made a selection of the 7 hairstyles preferred by celebrities so that you don't have to worry about spending long hours looking for what's hot this season. All of them also have the advantage of being able to be done quickly with exceptional results.
For each of these hairstyles, we recommend that you use one of our Final Touch products to get the most out of it . After all, it's the details that count . Let's see: 1. Half ponytail
The ' half ponytail ' is one of those hairstyles that will take you back to your childhood without losing any of the glamour. It's super easy: gather the hair around your face into a tight high ponytail and leave the rest loose to maintain the feeling of volume. You can also use hairpins under the ponytail to raise it even higher. This way you can create the sensation of your hair being much longer than it really is.
This hairstyle has the advantage of highlighting both straight and wavy and curly hair. If you have straight hair , our Prodigious Beauty Oil will give it nutrients and strength so that it is not damaged by the tension of the ponytail, as well as shine and a silky touch so that it looks even better. If you have curly or wavy hair , our Curl Definer Gel will finish defining the curls and give them elasticity, adding the "memory effect" so that they do not frizz over time.

2. Blunt Bob


Another of the most coveted hairstyles is the 'blunt bob' . It is a bob but with slightly irregular ends , which gives it a lot of movement and personality. If it were not so, a simple bob might seem too serious for this time of parties and celebrations. The simplicity of this hairstyle allows for different variations, adding volume or different types of gradients to give it even more dynamism.
Short hair always needs to be taken care of to really show off its full potential. The blunt bob is no exception in this regard, and it looks even better when the hair has a sublime shine and softness. For this reason, we recommend applying Sublime Hair Shine spray, which will give it the ideal finish.

3. Pixie


With a rocker vibe and a carefree look , the 'pixie' hairstyle involves cutting the hair you've worked so hard to grow for a strong bet. But this doesn't mean it's not worth it: it can give you that strong look that you want, especially in times of change, to look in the mirror and see yourself determined and direct. What is clear is that this cut will make all eyes focus on you.
When your hair is this short, the dynamics of giving it your personal style are based more on shape and colour than on shine and softness. A messy style is your ally, and hold is your comrade in arms, so, depending on how loose you want to give your hair, we will recommend our Dynamic Extra Strong Gel or our range of hair waxes , which will be very useful for defining the tips.

4. Textured mane


If you have fine, straight hair , this is the hairstyle for you: lots of volume at the roots and movement as it falls . It is an elegant option that is also dynamic and youthful, giving a sense of power and an important presence. It is perhaps the best hairstyle we offer you if you are not very tall and you want a good part of your physical presence to be reflected in an impressive mane.
The clearest solution we can offer you is, without a doubt, our Supreme Extra Strong Hair Spray . As an extra strong long-lasting hairspray, it is perfect for giving volume as long as necessary, and it will also give you a spectacular and even shine. To define waves, the best thing there is, without a doubt, is our Curl Definer Gel .

5. Wet finish


The wet look is back in fashion among celebrities. It's a risky bet, yes, but if you wear it with the advice of your trusted stylist you can achieve the ultimate effect. This style is ideal for medium or thick hair , as it reduces volume and clears the face, adding a look of modern sophistication and an imposing presence.
For the wet finish, there is no doubt: our Dynamic Extra Strong Gel , with cutting-edge polymers, leaves hair fixed but flexible and without weighing it down. In addition, it can be removed easily with a simple wash, leaving no residue. This way, you will avoid the hassle after the party, when you have to spend almost an hour trying to remove the residue from your hair.

6. High ponytail


Simple and comfortable, the high ponytail can be extremely elegant despite its simplicity, as it allows you to clear your face and keep your hair up, while showing off your hair gathered in a cascade behind your head. The most important thing in this hairstyle is that your hair is well cared for and healthy, and not so much some artificial effect. Therefore, you have to be careful that your hair is in impeccable health .
The best thing we can recommend for this hairstyle is to enhance the natural health of the hair fibres. To do this, our two star products are Sublime Hair Shine , to provide flexibility, shine and softness, or Prodigious Beauty Oil , which nourishes, revitalizes and repairs the hair while adding shine. To prevent the hairstyle from moving, you can apply a little Supreme Extra Strong Hair Spray .

7. Updo with side parting


There's no way to go wrong with the last one we bring you today: the side-parted updo . It's ideal for faces with fine features on the most important occasions. Elegant beyond belief, if you apply a minimum of volume , especially on fine hair, it gives the best results, since this way you avoid the tightness that the side parting implies and increase the presence like a subtle headdress.
To give the final touch to this hairstyle, you will definitely need the Supreme Extra Strong Hair Spray , as it will help with volume and hold, but not in large quantities. The most important thing is the shine, hydration and softness that nothing provides better than our Sublime Hair Shine .
We are sure that among these 7 options, you will surely find one that suits your hair and allows you to highlight the best of your hair and shine at the parties to come.

If you are going to dye your hair, do it carefully.

Dyeing your hair is perhaps one of the most radical changes to a person's appearance, but it can be very aggressive for your hair: it needs to be protected. Hello again! Have you ever thought about dyeing your hair ? Something that a few years ago was relegated to covering grey hair, is now a common practice as another way to define your own style, just like changing your jacket or wearing earrings. There is no problem with this, since each person looks better in some colours than others depending on various factors, such as skin colour, hair length, etc. However, there is a big difference with clothes or accessories: hair is a natural fibre that is part of our body, and that is why we must be very careful with how dyes or bleaching are applied . What do dyes/peroxides do to hair and why do they damage it? But why should you be careful? After all, it's not that different from dyeing any part of your skin, is it? In reality, dyeing or bleaching your hair is very different from dyeing any part of your skin : each hair is an extremely fine and delicate fibre, which has a certain elasticity and resistance, but which suffers particularly, due to its composition, from the interaction with the chemicals that make up the dye . [caption id="attachment_26172" align="aligncenter" width="685"] Dyeing your hair can be a great solution to finding your perfect look [/caption] The hair fiber is made up of three layers: medulla, cortex and cuticle . The medulla is the central part that runs through the entire hair from beginning to end, and is much thinner than the other two parts. The cortex is the actual body of the hair and is therefore where all treatments that take care of the health of the hair fiber act , and especially dyes. The cuticle , the outer layer, is the hair's protective barrier , which is made up of scales, so everything that is intended to act on the hair cortex must first pass through the cuticle. Most dyes, in order to have a long-lasting result on the hair, are not satisfied with applying the dye on the outer part (cuticle), since, otherwise, the dye would disappear with just a few washes: what they seek is to penetrate to the cortex through the outer scales of the hair and act on the inner body of the hair fiber. However, this process, applied both for coloring and bleaching , causes the powerful chemicals to weaken the cortex of the hair and make it weaker because they degrade the disulfide bridges that keep the hair stable and resistant. This can lead to, when several coloring or bleaching treatments accumulate on the same hair, for example, it becomes brittle and breaks, falling out. In other words: dye or oxygenated products are aggressive chemical treatments that, when accumulated, can cause hair to fall out . [caption id="attachment_26175" align="aligncenter" width="529"] The hair is divided into three layers: medulla, cortex and cuticle. The latter are affected by colouring, as this is where the dye acts. [/caption] Does this mean that if I have fine hair I can't dye/bleach it? Not necessarily. Whether your hair is fine or thick has a relative influence on its resistance. What is important is the health of your hair in general, and especially the hair cortex. If the hair cortex is weak, whether due to an accumulation of chemical treatments or for any other reason, it is not advisable to use a dye in the conventional way; but if the cortex is healthy, regardless of the hair type, there should be no problem with dyeing. Checking the health of your hair, on the other hand, is simple: weak hair is brittle and breaks easily . Despite everything, it is best to consult a professional , such as your trusted stylist, for advice. I have weak hair, but I want to dye/bleach it. Is there no other way? Yes. At KV-1 we have developed a hair protection system that strengthens the internal bonds of the hair to increase its health and resistance, especially designed to prevent and restore damage caused by dyes in the cortex and hair cuticle and thus protect the integrity of hair subjected to chemical stress: the professional OnePlex system. [caption id="attachment_26178" align="aligncenter" width="772"] To avoid problems arising from colouring we recommend Oneplex [/caption] This is a three-step system for hairdressers and stylists to protect their clients' hair while applying the colouring or bleaching treatment. First, the Bond Multi-Booster is mixed with any type of dye to fortify the hair's existing health and prepare the way for the next product to act. This is called Clean & Maintenance : a shampoo that respects the dye and the previously applied mask that leaves the way ready for... The third and final step: the Bond Perfect Sealer , an intensive anti-breakage final treatment that strengthens the hair internally, protecting it against external aggressions. By combining our Oneplex system, hair can be easily changed from one colour to another, or weak hair can be strengthened which otherwise could not be dyed or bleached without risk of breakage. Take a look at our website and recommend it to your stylist , if they don't already have one, as it is an essential product for any hair salon willing to dye or bleach hair . Thanks to it, you can relax and focus on choosing the colour that best matches your style, while keeping your hair healthy. We hope you enjoyed this article.

The Three KV-1 Steps to Perfect Hair

Applying a hair treatment is necessary to maintain healthy hair, but it must be done correctly, without skipping steps. Many of you already know us and know what we do. At KV-1 Anti-Aging Beauty we work mainly on hair treatments to take care of the health of our users' hair. We are pioneers in Anti-Aging Treatments in Spain and, specifically, our brand developed the concept of Hair Lifting or Capillary Lifting . Not in vain, we have been dedicated to hair cosmetics for more than thirty years and we know how to work to provide the greatest amount of care and nutrition to your hair. That is why most of our treatments are based on the Three Steps doctrine . Today we come to explain to you what it consists of. Sometimes hair care treatments don't bring the desired result. To a large extent, the effectiveness of hair treatments has more to do with the way they are applied than with the type of product. And while it is true that most shampoos and masks can be applied in the shower at home, rushing, lack of practice or the numerous difficulties of everyday life make the application not adequate and it becomes evident that there is nothing like the hands of your trusted hairdresser to improve the appearance and health of your hair. [caption id="attachment_26135" align="aligncenter" width="740"] Hair treatments are easy to apply in the shower or at the salon [/caption] However, as the saying goes, every master has his own little book and every hairdresser has his own way of working, so what can be done to make a treatment have a real effect on the hair? Three KV-1 steps for perfect hair To avoid all these problems when a treatment works, at KV-1 we have implemented a system based on Anti-Aging Technology so that in all cases our products leave an optimal result : the three KV-1 steps . Of our 7 hair product lines, only two do not use this system, and this is due to the very nature of its effects in the hair salon. However, the rest of the lines ( Hair Lifting Originals , Advanced Cellular Repair , Fiber Prestige Moisture , Tricoterapy Advanced Care and Oneplex ) apply this hair salon modus operandi , since over the years we have proven that it is the best option. And what are the Three Steps of KV-1? This three-step ritual is based on the ideas of purifying , preparing , and acting . STEP 1: This involves applying a product designed to clean the cuticle and scalp, which varies depending on the treatment: in general treatments this would be a Shampoo, for example, our Original Pre-Lifting Shampoo . STEP 2: This is usually represented by a preparatory and nourishing mask that activates the hair for the final step: in Oneplex this step would correspond to Bond Clean & Maintenance . STEP 3: We will finish with an intensive direct action treatment so that both the hair fiber and the scalp are soaked with the nutrients and our most powerful formula, giving the most visible and definitive change to the hair: thus, in our Lifting Collections line, the final touch is given by the famous Hair Lifting . Steps 1 and 2 may vary, depending on the condition of the client's scalp, it is recommended to perform a prior exfoliation for proper hair care. We could therefore exfoliate the scalp with our Bifunctional Hair Peeling before the KV-1 3-step Ritual . [caption id="attachment_26148" align="aligncenter" width="537"] KV-1 3-step method: 1-Exfoliate, 2-Cleanse, 3-Treat [/caption] And why can't I use one of the three steps separately? As we said, it is not advisable to use any of the products separately, and there is a reason for this: if each of the products prepares the hair for the next, using only one of them does not allow the maximum absorption of the active ingredients and nutrients that make our hair strong and beautiful . Let's say, for example, that we want our hair to be hydrated to the maximum using only the mask in our Fiber Prestige Moisture . It will undoubtedly have some effect on the hair, since it is of a high quality, but the hair will not have been purified before, nor will it have the final pump of nutrients and active ingredients afterwards, so its effect will be very limited. It is also important to note that hair treatment will only be effective if it is maintained over time . It is a great idea to go to your hairdresser to have a KV-1 treatment applied, and your hair will undoubtedly look immediately better, but if it is not repeated periodically, external agents (such as pollution) or internal agents (such as hair growth itself) will gradually eliminate the effect of that first application, eventually erasing all traces of health in the hair. Therefore: maintaining beautiful hair requires prolonged treatment . [caption id="attachment_26154" align="aligncenter" width="586"] Only the correct use of the Three Steps KV-1 allows for high quality results [/caption] For all the above reasons, we recommend that you use the Three Steps for Perfect Hair: Lifting, Shampoo and Mask for Perfect Hair . Only in this way will you be able to experience the true effectiveness of KV-1 Anti-Aging Beauty and maintain it over time to continue to arouse envy and always be able to enjoy young, healthy hair .

What happens to my hair in autumn?

It's not just your imagination: hair loss increases between September and December. But don't panic! There is a solution. Autumn is here to stay. The leaves of the trees fall onto the pavement, the sun sets earlier and the cold advances until it recovers everything it lost in spring. But there is something else that distinguishes this season from the others. : In the mornings, what was once a clean pillow has turned into a tangled jungle, combs and brushes seem angrier and hungrier than before, and all the items of clothing no longer look spotless as easily. In short: everything It's full of hair. And we all wonder: why does hair fall out more in autumn? [caption id="attachment_26070" align="aligncenter" width="669"] Like the leaves of trees, hair falls more in autumn. [/caption] WHAT IS HAIR? Well, first we need to know what hair is: it is a series of fibres composed mainly of keratin (a protein that also forms our nails) that only appear in mammals (like humans) and that serves as insulation against temperature and other external factors . Over millions of years, human evolution has meant that our species has gradually lost hair from different parts of the body, leaving them almost completely bare; others, like the armpits, pubis and head, have maintained a very high concentration of this protective layer. Hair - like any other type of hair - is divided into three parts : Birth , Shaft and Tip . The shaft and tip are the middle and upper parts of the hair, and their health depends on the good care taken of the cuticle, the outer layer of the three that make up the hair fiber. But the lower part, the birth , is perhaps the most important point, since it is where the hair bulb or root is found, where the hair grows and where it is anchored to the middle layer of the skin, called the dermis . [caption id="attachment_26072" align="aligncenter" width="695"] The four phases of hair life: anagen, catagen, telogen and exogen. [/caption] THE LIFE CYCLE OF HAIR The hair bulb or root is more important than the other parts because the entire life cycle of a hair depends on this initial part, since it is there where it receives the nutrients to make it grow. And the hair has a life cycle divided into four phases: anagen (in which the hair grows, which can last between 3 and 6 years), catagen (in which the hair stops growing and rests, which lasts between 1 and 3 weeks), telogen (in which the hair falls out little by little, on its own or with help, which lasts from 1 to 3 months) and exogenous (in which the follicle begins to create a new hair, from the root). This cycle results in between 50 and 150 hairs falling out every day during the normal season. But in the fall , a number of causes, none of them definitive, mean that in most people this number is much higher . And in our love for hair and everything that surrounds it, we have collected some of the most important possible causes for this massive loss... [caption id="attachment_26074" align="aligncenter" width="552"] The 'areata' or temporary fall is due to multiple factors, but it is never definitive. [/caption] 7 reasons why hair falls more in autumn There are many reasons why hair may fall out more at this time of year. In any case, it is important to know that hair that falls out in autumn can be recovered over time . Hair loss is divided into two main types: androgenetic , which depends on genes and causes permanent baldness, and areata , which is always temporary and depends on external factors (such as the sun or dyes) or internal factors (such as illness or stress). Autumn hair loss is of the areata type , and therefore, it is temporary. Here are 7 possible reasons why it occurs: One possible explanation is 'molting' . Humans, like other mammals, shed their hair (and therefore their hair), and like animals such as bears, dogs and hares, when the cold weather arrives, the body sheds the old hair from the summer and replaces it with new hair for the winter. Another reason is that a large part of the hair usually enters the catagen phase at the end of spring and needs approximately three months to go through the telogen and exogen phases, which last the summer. When summer ends, all the hair that died in spring ends up falling off little by little. In addition, in summer the sun hits the scalp more strongly and it tends to thicken to gain density and thus protect our head . When autumn arrives, and as the sun decreases its intensity, the hair can lose quality and fall out. With the return of the summer holidays , our lifestyle habits change to return to the routine of work and everyday life. This sometimes generates a stress that is not typical of holidays, when there is more time to carry out things in a calmer way and have a higher quality of life. This negatively affects our body and, of course, our hair, causing it to fall out more. Again, in the summer, exposure to more sweat, salt from the sea, chlorine from swimming pools and other external factors causes our hair to weaken and suffer during the fall, falling out. A person with iron deficiency or hormonal changes will have even weaker hair during the fall and will see more hair fall out than normal, especially if it is long (not because it falls out more, but because it is more visible). Finally, living in an extreme climate , such as a desert area or at a very high latitude (close to the poles), can cause hair to suffer from excessively high or low temperatures and fall out. If the change in temperature to the cold of autumn is sudden, this will also have the same effect. You can find more information about hair loss in autumn here . [caption id="attachment_26076" align="aligncenter" width="735"] To control all types of hair loss, we recommend the Tricoterapy Advanced Care line from KV-1 . [/caption] What can I do to prevent autumn hair loss? What now? Should we resign ourselves to losing our hair every time summer ends? To a certain extent, autumn hair loss is inevitable, for all the reasons we explained above. However, taking in-depth care of the health of our hair , especially of the hair bulb or root and the scalp, will slow down or even prevent much of the autumn hair loss , improving the appearance of our hair in general. To do this, it is essential to nourish and work on the strength of the hair. The best solution is to avoid stress , maintain a good diet and, above all, trust a professional . From the experience of more than 30 years dedicated to hair health and care , at KV-1 we recommend our trichology line Tricoterapy Advanced Care , which is designed exclusively to maintain strong and resistant hair, working on the hair root and scalp to treat all types of serious problems, including areata or temporary hair loss . We hope that this article has helped you to understand how hair works and how to avoid annoying autumn hair loss.
